Emphasis on Education:  Academics and behavior at school are just as important as a players' performance on the field. The scholastics director will monitor the grades of our athletes and any GPA below a C will be monitored bi-weekly directly from the students teacher. Academics and athletics go hand in hand. We strive to prepare our youth for High School athletics and academics.
